𝐇𝐇 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 - Hazbin Hotel

Pt 5

Ever since the apology, Alastor and Lucifer have kept their behavior in check . They still had their fights , but they remained civil when Charlie was near.

Most people have forgotten about the broadcast , but every once in a while a sinner at the hotel makes a remark or two when Lucifer is close by. Lucifer often bites his tongue and leaves when this happens .

Vox has also had his fair share of messing with Alastor ever since the broadcast .

Today was one of those days where a sinner got a bit snarky.

Lucifer was back walking towards his room. He was already having a horrible day and the rude comment was his final straw.

Once he arrived at the door of his room , he found Alastor waiting by his door.

"What are you doing here ?" Lucifer asked in a impolite manner. Alastor bent down and looked straight into Lucifer's eyes . "Oh my, has the King woken up on the wrong side of bed?" Alastor asked. Lucifer rolled his eyes. He hated when Alastor bent over to get to his eye level. It made him feel vulnerable.

"Why would that matter?" Lucifer asked. Lucifer wasn't in the mood to speak to Alastor. He didn't want to fight either, so he tried to remain civil.

Alastor snickered and fixed his back to his usual upright position. "I was told you were having a bad day. I wanted to witness it myself ." Alastor replied. His smile was fueled by malicious intent.

Lucifer scoffed. He opened his door and walked inside of his room . He quickly shut the door, so Alastor wouldn't walk inside. Lucifer looked around his room. Each inch filled with ducks. He could barely walk to his bed . Eventually he found his way to his bed and laid down .

"Are these the conditions the King of Hell lives in?" Alastor asked. Lucifer raised his head off of his bed. "How'd you get here??" Lucifer asked, now sitting fully upright. "Your door was unlocked ." Alastor replied smugly. Lucifer scoffed at his response.

"Anyways, answer my question. " Alastor stated . Alastor looked around. Piles and piles of ducks surrounded him. His eyes stopped as his gaze fell upon three ducks. One that resembled Charlie and Lucifer. Alastor was unsure of who the third duck was, but he guessed it was Charlie's mother."What a lovely family!" Alastor said. With the use of Alastor's tendril, he picked up the three ducks . He brought them close to him to examine them better.

"HEY! Put those down!" Lucifer yelled. Alastor looked at the short king ."I will once you tell me why you live in these conditions? Your room is filthy. Not to mention 90% of your room is filled with ducks . " Alastor stated.

Lucifer looked down and sighed once.He valued those ducks more than his life. Lucifer could remember the night where Lilith and Lucifer made those three ducks "Lilith... Often helped me clean . Once she left , I used ducks to replace her absence.." Lucifer said , he was ashamed of himself .

This was one of the few times Alastor saw Lucifer this way. Alastor actually pitied the King . Not much , but enough to wanna help him . "That was awfully depressing. "Alastor said. He sighed and looked at Lucifer. "Do you want my help?" Alastor asked. Alastor didn't sound eager, but his voice wasn't filled with the usual evilness.

Lucifer was caught off gaurd."He wants to help me ?? Is this a trap ? " He thought .Lucifer looked at his room . Alastor wasn't wrong. He's room was filthy. Lucifer couldn't help but be embarrassed.

He needed help.

" Yes , Alastor . I do want your help." Lucifer replied. Lucifer was reluctant, but he knew if Charlie saw this she would freak out. Alastor nodded and set the three ducks down from before."Well then, let's hurry." Alastor said. "I can't let anyone see I'm being nice to you." Alastor said teasingly.

Lucifer rolled his eyes and jumped off his bed . "Why ? Too scared to get redeemed?" Lucifer asked. Lucifer couldn't help but chuckle. "Well your majesty , never knew you had an ounce of humor in you. " Alastor said . He let out a short chuckle.

They both very much disliked each other, but they were having fun . It was much better getting along with eachother than fighting. They both realized that .

Alastor used four of his tendrils to begin cleaning. After all the ducks were picked off the ground, Lucifer summoned a shelf . Alastor collected the ducks and set them on the shelf.

The ducks were overflowing the shelf , but it was better than before. This left Lucifer's room to look much better. Lucifer could finally walk in places that were block with ducks .Lucifer summoned a broom and began to sweep . Alastor thought how dusty the window of his room might be .

Alastor walked over to the window and opened the closed curtains . It revealed a gorgeous view. "Well I'll be damned . What a lovely view. Such a shame you leave these curtains closed . " Alastor said . Lucifer walked by Alastor to see what he was talking about. "Oh . You're not wrong . I guess I just prefer the dark better . " Lucifer replied. Alastor nodded , it was almost as if he agreed . It was hard for Lucifer to tell what emotion Alastor was feeling . Lucifer tried his to guess .

Alastor's smile never faltered, which was a big reason why it was difficult for Lucifer to guess Alastor's emotions.

Lucifer continued to look at the view . He completely forgot how it looked . He can't remember the last he opened those curtains.

Alastor walk away from the window , only to see something catch his eyes . It was a red rubber duck under the King's bed. It had deer ears and antlers . It was quite obvious who it was . It was Alastor.

Alastor picked up the small duck and looked back at the short King . Lucifer was still enjoying the view . "Well your majesty, who knew you had a specific duck about me ." Alastor said in a rather arrogantly.

Lucifer fixed his eyes onto Alastor. "Oh I forgot about that. " Lucifer replied . The way Lucifer responded was emotionless . "You can keep that. As a thank you for helping me clean with my room. " Lucifer said. His voice was genuine.

"Well that is quite generous of you , your majesty." Alastor replied , he tried his best to hide how surprised he was . Spending time with The King Of Hell showed Alastor a new side of Lucifer. Alastor wasn't sure whether this was a good or bad thing .

Alastor put the rubber duck in the pocket of his coat . "Well, let's continue to clean." Alastor said . Lucifer nodded in agreement .

After an hour, Lucifer's room looked completely new . Lucifer had enough room to run around his room . This was space he didn't have before. Lucifer's room was now comfortable to live in .

As Alastor and Lucifer admire the clean room, Lucifer looks at Alastor. "Hey, uhm. Thanks for helping me. " Lucifer said . Lucifer said this with humility.

Alastor looked at the short King. "Well, don't expect me to do this again." Alastor snickered. Lucifer let out a laugh. "Don't worry. I don't " Lucifer responded. Both Lucifer and Alastor had a genuine smile .

"My apologies, but I have to go ." Alastor said . Lucifer nodded. Lucifer walked Alastor to the door of his room . "Well bye." Lucifer said. "Goodbye , your majesty." Alastor replied.

Alastor walked away. The tapping of his cane trailing him . Lucifer watched as Alastor walked away . Lucifer no longer hated Alastor. He wasnt Lucifer's favorite, but he no longer was a burden to be around.

Lucifer went inside of his room and closed the door. He wondered how one's perspective on a person could change rather quickly .It was something only he could know from personal experience .
